Description

MTVA, an umbrella organization for the Hungarian public media outlets, plans to dismiss 177 employees by the second quarter of 2015. The layoffs will affect 146 workers in Budapest and 31 workers in Pécs and Szeged. The unions have rejected the plan of a collective dismissal as they argue that the planned redundancies are not about saving money (as there have been simultaneous job creation measures).
